Rap mogul and former head of Death Row Records, Suge Knight, has been hospitalized after being punched in the face by Akon's business manager.

Is that what "handling your business" is now called?

Ex-Death Row Records head Marion "Suge" Knight was hospitalized early yesterday morning after a fight at a private party in Scottsdale, AZ.
According to a police report attained by The Arizona Republic, authorities arrived at the W. Scottsdale Hotel -- where the private party was being held -- at 3:30 A.M., after two groups reportedly exchanged words on the hotel's second floor. Officers then witnessed a man punch Knight, 43, in the face twice. They used Taser stun guns to break up the brawl and arrested two men -- Robert L. Carnes, Jr., 38, who later identified himself as the business manager of hip-hop superstar Akon, and his friend, Thomas Leon Anderson, Jr., 33. Both were charged with assault and disorderly conduct

This picture was taken in early 1996 outside of the House of Blues in LA. He was riding around (in separate cars) with Tupac.

Regardless of personal opinions Suge must be respected for what he has done for hip hop.....Imagine he never forced Dr Dre's release from Ruthless or imagine he never bailed out Pac???
